We’re living in loud, exhausting times. Everything asks for our attention, our outrage, our productivity, our certainty. Lent begins by saying we don’t have to meet the world at that pace.
Ash Wednesday is an invitation to pause. To tell the truth about our limits. To remember that we are finite, beloved, and in need of grace. In a culture that rewards performance and denial, Lent offers a different way, one shaped by honesty, humility, and care for one another.
Join us as we begin this season together, making space for reflection, prayer, and connection, both in person and online.

We are looking to get a jumpstart on our annual Haven Christmas Party and Potluck on December 21st right after our final Sunday morning gathering of the year.
We’ll be meeting on Wednesday, December 17th from 7 to 8 pm to talk through a few logistics, things like food setup, flow for the gift exchange, and anything else that will help the day run smoothly. We’re trying to get a bit more intentional about planning these special gatherings so everyone can relax and enjoy the celebration when the day comes.
If you’re up for joining that conversation, we’d love to have you. And if planning meetings aren’t your thing, no worries at all. We’ll still welcome your help on the 21st and will happily plug you in where needed to keep everything festive and fun.
Zoom info for the Wednesday call can be found by emailing our Director of Operations!
